Oh dear... that's has happened to me too! I did a lot of testing to see what worked best to fix the dye! I use Permaset Aqua fabric paint and found that if I ironed for 40 seconds( making sure I didn't miss ANY spots) it seem to fix the dye perfectly! Tumble dryer didn't work for me! I know that if you over iron it to much it can be a problem too and can break down the dye and wont wash as well! Anyway hope that helps.. they look like such cute tea towels.. good luck :)

Hi Trudi, love your tea towels. I've had that problem with fabric ink setting too, I use Aquatex and Permaset brands (from art shops) and have found them better than the craft store brands, so maybe try that. I just iron and iron for ages but I think Lamina might be onto something about over ironing. Btw, if they're presents for family I would still give them to them - I don't think people expect homemade things to be absolutely perfect.

ahahaha.. you are a scream Trudi ! to me the towels look fine, oK, I admit the colour is not as bold but they have a kind of vintage look now and they look good like that too - well at least for what I can see anyhow :)
